Soccer - Varsity Girls

The varsity soccer girls had a great season filled with growth. The girls went 9-8-1 overall. After starting the season with a 1-0 loss to Astoria, the girls got stronger by the game and rode a hot streak all the way to the state semi-finals losing to the eventual state champion Valley Catholic. The season included three very memorable games. Down 2-0 at Valley Catholic, the girls mounted a strong comeback to tie 2-2. After two great games with Westside Christian in which both teams won a game and lost a game 2-1, we were matched up with them in a winner take all for a state playoff birth. After an intense game full of chances, both ways CG pulled out a 1-0 win. In the state quarter-final against Western Mennonite after a scoreless game and OT the game went to penalty kicks. With the teams tied 4-4 after the five kicks, it went to sudden death kicks in which Catlin won 8-7 after nine rounds. The team played very hard all season and were full of young players who are excited to make an impact next season!

At Catlin Gabel, the goal in the girl's soccer program is to create a positive and respectful winning environment. The program has a rich and successful history with high expectations. Girls are trained daily with an emphasis on technical and tactical knowledge. The program is designed to be competitive but at the same time team oriented. Girls in the program work hard daily, and their passion for the game comes through in how much fun they have playing the game.
